Dubai City Half-Day Sightseeing Tour
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
My Rating
My Review
Fantastic half day tour, Dejan our Serbian guide who has lived there for 10 yrs was fabulous with the knowledge and customs of the UAE. Amin our Pakastani driver was great leaving the engine running so that the air conditioning kept flowing. A good tour covering the museum which is a must, seeing the old part was interesting. Then a visit to the spice and gold souks(markets) was great. Even getting the "Abra" Dubai's version of a gondola, to cross the river to the souks was good. If we did not do this tour, we would not have known about these interesting things to do and places to see.

So good to be picked up after a flight and not have to worry how to get to your hotel. They are always on time to greet you even when our flight was delayed and we arrived in Dubai later, they were there for our pickup. Definately recommend this transfer, they help you with your luggage, We will be using this service again. Thank you.

Definately you should do this even to stay on and view the city sights. It is air-conditioned so very comfortable to enjoy the sight seeing. Would recommend to do the 2 day pass as one day is one route and the other for the other route. Take the night pass as it is lovely to see all the sights lite up.

Papal Audience Ticket at Vatican City
Rome, Italy
My Rating
My Review
Recommend to do this as when in Rome what more better than be up close to the Pope. He does not just wave at the window, he drives past you close in the Pope mobile, saying mass, blessing everyone in many languages, a must if you are Catholic. Very enjoyable day even in the heat, take a hat.

Capri Day Trip from Rome
Rome, Italy
My Rating
My Review
Great day, even though it was terrible weather and so the grotto was closed. Our tour guide was fabulous taking us around Capri. Had a lovely lunch included in the price at Anacapri, but only too much free time wasted at Anacapri, should have spent more free time at Capri with the designer shops of Prada, Ferragamo etc. Not many shops at Anacapri but all in all a great day. My husband has now missed the grotto twice due to bad weather, will he be lucky next time. Would definately re-do this tour.

Pompeii and Amalfi Coast Small Group Day Trip from Rome
Rome, Italy
My Rating
My Review
Well this is a must for you do not know where to stay on the Amalfi coast or you do not have the time as was our case. And how happy we were that we went on this day tour with our driver Maurizio. Not only was he a good singer, he was a good driver and funny. We caught up with 3 other mini vans and formed a convoy where a guide spoke through the microphone. We did not miss a thing along the coast, had lots of free time. The last stop being Pompeii, well I hope you all get Gaetano the guide. He was so cool, so funny and so knowledgeable about Pompeii. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour, a bundle of laughs, you see so much in a day.

The best part of this tour is skipping the line. Our tour guide was great, knew his stuff. The tour company making sure our mics worked, thoroughly enjoyed this tour, even our son who is in his early 20's appreciated all the paintworks and stories told by our guide. You cannot go to Rome and not do this tour.

So good to do this tour and see all the main tourist parts of Rome, Piazza Navona, Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain etc etc and having all the detailed information given to us by our guide. Shame about the weather, we had light rain right through our tour but it was too good to leave it. I forgot the tour guides name but he knew his history as well.

If you are a soccer fan, you must do this tour. The tour guide at San Siro was so informative and took us to the change rooms, we could take so many photos. The museum was so good especially being a Milan fan. The prices in the San Siro shop were very reasonable.

What a beautiful day we had. The ferry ride was fantastic, looking at all the villa's and seeing where the rich and famous live. A shame George Clooney was not home. A beautiful place to see, such a classy area, lots of free time and not a long drive from Milan.

Venice Gondola Ride and Serenade

What a great gondola ride with serenade. There were 8 gondolas and the singer was on one of the gondolas. We traveled together and he sang beautifully. Everyone stood at their windows waving and enjoying the singing. We wanted to go to Venice not only to have a gondola ride but to be serenaded and we were not disappointed.

My Rating
My Review
A great tour and the guide was so informative and spoke so many languages. At the glass blowing place at Murano, the down side was they were so pushy to sell you stuff. Also at Burano at the linen place we were taken, they were also pushy. But we enjoyed the other shops at Murano and Burano who were not pushy and it was nicer to see their things. Torcello very enjoyable to see, small and old.

Pisa and the Leaning Tower Half-Day Trip from Florence
Florence, Italy
My Rating
My Review
What a great tour. The best way is this tour from Florence. You get taken there, the guide is informative all the way there and in the Duomo. You get lots of free time to look around, had a great time. Book tickets to walk up the leaning tower first as we ran out of time. The markets were great, not pushy and we all had a really enjoyable time.
